Numerical and Theoretical Analysis of Shallow Water Flow with Applications to the Global Oceanic Circulation

这个项目是对重力波在全球海洋环流长期演变中的作用进行数值和理论研究。所使用的模型是由罗格斯大学（Rutgers University）开发的SEOM模型，并将采用多压力变量方法。这将导致SEOM效率的数量级提高，从而允许扩展高分辨率海洋模拟，包括充分代表自由表面现象。该模型将首先用于全球海洋潮汐环流的二维模拟。模型优化后，将对全球风动环流进行扩展的三维模拟。

9730596 Iskandarani The project is for numerical and theoretical study of the role of gravity waves in the long-time evolution of the global oceanic circulation. The model used is SEOM developed at Rutgers University, and an multiple-pressure- variable approach will be implemented. It would lead to an order-of-magnitude enhancement in the efficiency of SEOM, thus allowing extended high-resolution ocean simulations that include adequate representation of free-surface phenomena. The model will first be used for two-dimensional simulations of tidal circulation in the global ocean. After the model is optimized, extended three-dimensional simulations of the global wind-driven circulation will be performed.
